Marsha,
I am also looking for ELLIS's in Spencer Co, Ind.
David ELLIS 2/22/1845-5/12/1897 married to Harriet Elizabeth HAMILTON
1844-1913. Married on 1/22/1871.
Do you have any info if David is related to your Thomas ELLIS?

I am looking for information on Thomas ELLIS - b. abt 1784 in either
Virginia or South Carolina. He is believed to be a half-breed Cherokee. He
married Judah (or Judith) Wright (believed to be a half-breed Creek) abt
1812 or early 1813. They were in Spencer Co., Indiana in Nov 1813 and lived
in Indiana until at least 1822. In 1840 they appear on the Adams Co., ILL
census. In 1850 they are on the Brown Co., ILL census.
Thomas & Judah had at least four daughters - two of whom are unknown. One
was b. between 1830/35 and the other between 1835/40. The other two are
Judith (Judah) A. ELLIS b. 23 Nov 1813 in Spencer Co., IND and Jane ELLIS b.
1823 in IND.
Judith ELLIS md. James H. FINCH in 1835 in Morgan Co., ILL.
Jane ELLIS md. Anson Henry BLISS in 1840 in Adams Co., ILL.
On the 1850 census there are two girls living with Thomas and Judah who are
apparently their grandchildren. They are not the children of either Judith
or Jane. Their names are Amanda ELLIS, age 5, b. ILL; and either Sarahan or
Larahan ELLIS, age 3, b. ILL.
I have all the info on Judith and Jane and their descendants & will be happy
to share. I would like more information on their siblings and parents and
on the two girls listed on the 1850 census.
Thanks,
Marsha
